That sucks because Zach McCallister is a fringe major leaguer, and that's being kind. Now we've got two really big turds in the rotation (Zach and Ubaldo) and a dingleberry with turd potential in Gomez.

McAllister is a 24-year old with a career minor league ERA of 3.44. His strikeout rate took a nice jump this year, and he's a big, durable righty who can thrown a lot of innings. By no means is he a future ace of a staff or anything like that, but saying his upside is "fringe major leaguer" is probably a little harsh. He can be a 4/5 in the back end of a major league rotation, which is not a useless role.

Indians purchased the contract of RHP Jeremy Accardo from Triple-A Columbus.Accardo was rocking a 2.76 ERA and 16/2 K/BB ratio through 16 1/3 innings this season at the Triple-A level. He will function as a middle reliever for the Tribe.

Hopefully Chisenhall is here to play. Lopez can fill in at any infield position, and still play 4-5 days per week. Diaz, I guess, stays until Cabrera can go, then he will go back and another reliever called up, or so it would seem.
